Manchester is a vibrant and buzzing city that celebrates pubs, bars, nightclubs and generally embraces the “joy de vivre”. Famous “Curry Mile” brings the flavours of Asia with a variety of Asian restaurants, kebabs and other oriental fast food options situated in South Manchester as a large part of the Wilmslow Road. Not without its verdant side, Fletcher Moss Park & Botanical Gardens offer relaxing retreat to quietly reflect on the match results or have a simple stroll through the English well – maintained landscape. Impressive industrial history is moulded at the Museum of Science and Industry at the location of the oldest rail station, the old Liverpool St Station. Manchester Cathedral is one of its oldest buildings, a classic example of the Gothic architecture and its opposite attraction, the MediaCity Uk, BBC’s 80 – hectare set- up offers guided tours around the grounds (not on) where the British beloved “Coronation Street” came to life.
